CODA announces Purple Ribbon Campaign against domestic violence In support of October as National Domestic Violence Awareness Month, Citizens Opposed to Domestic Abuse (CODA), in partnership with area sheriff ’s offices, police departments, and Palmetto Electric Cooperative, announces its Purple Ribbon Campaign. Ten sheriff ’s offices and police departments in Beaufort, Colleton, Hampton and Jasper counties have signed on to place purple ribbon magnets that say “Stop Domestic Violence” on their law enforcement vehicles to demonstrate their commitment to protecting victims and holding offenders accountable. Recognizing the importance of this issue in our community, Palmetto Electric Cooperative generously provided the financial support for this campaign. “We take domestic violence very, very seriously and are happy to participate in this awareness effort. We believe the purple ribbon magnets will help educate our citizens about the need to seek help at the first sign of abuse and to contact law enforcement when an incident occurs,” stated Beaufort County Sheriff P.J. Tanner. “Domestic violence is a huge issue in our state. South Carolina ranks 1st in the nation for the rate of women murdered by men and there are thousands of domestic violence incidents in the Lowcountry each year. We hope the Purple Ribbon Campaign will raise awareness that it will take all of us working together to stop domestic violence in the Lowcountry,” said Kristin Dubrowski, CODA executive director.

news briefS McDonald’s robbery under investigation
The Beaufort County Sheriff ’s Office is investigating an armed robbery that occurred at a Lady’s Island restaurant early on Sunday, Oct. 13. Just after 1:30 a.m., Sheriff ’s deputies responded to a reported armed robbery that occurred at McDonald’s, 177 Sea Island Parkway. Upon arrival, deputies met with employees who advised that the store had just been robbed by two unknown black males. One employee advised that he’d been working on the roof when he saw two masked men approach another employee at the back door of the store. One of the men reportedly brandished a handgun and forced the employee inside the store. Moments later, a shot was fired and both suspects were seen fleeing the area on foot. Five employees were inside the store when the robbery occurred. They reported that once inside the building, one of the suspects rounded them up, while the other directed a manager to the safe and register. After taking an undisclosed amount of money and several of the employees’ cell phones, the suspects forced them all into a walk-in freezer. Once inside, the suspects fired a shot and fled the area. No injuries were sustained during the
incident. The suspects were described as black males between 17-25 years old. Both were approximately 6 feet tall, 175 lbs. One was reportedly wearing a dark shirt, camouflage pants, and a red baseball cap. The other was described as wearing a dark shirt and pants and a baseball cap with lime green. The Sheriff ’s Office asks anyone with information to contact either Investigator Cpl. A. Zsamar at 843-255-3408 or Crimestoppers.

Two Special Offers from Crane through November 3rd
Small ship cruising By Connie Frenzel
If the mega ships are not your idea of a vacation, but you have the wander lust to set sail for beautiful ports, consider a cruise line offering smaller ships but with bigger experiences. Small ship sailing allows you to see the world in new ways. The growing travel trends are eco-tourism and adventure, perfectly suited to small ship cruising. Small ships offer more authentic, off-the-beaten path and customized experiences. On board guest speakers and tour-certified expedition leaders immerse you in visiting destinations. Smaller ships generally stay longer in ports, frequently with overnighting, permitting guests to explore the culture, art, history and the local cuisine. Small ship sailing doesn’t sacrifice luxury. Cruise lines such as Azamara, Compagnie Du Ponant, Crystal, Paul Gauguin, Regent, SeaDream or Seabourn, boast elegant, sophisticated surroundings, stellar luxury amenities and first class staterooms. On exquisite yachts to beautifully appointed sleek ships accommodating from 30 to 750 passengers, staff and crew are among the best in the cruising industry. Your vacation is virtually
all-inclusive. Examples could be airfare, shore excursions, zodiac expeditions, wines and spirits, cooking classes, exquisite dining choices and Connie gratuities. When Frenzel your small ship journey ends, you don’t have a large onboard expense bill as you might with mega ships. Some travelers express, in comparison, that sailing all-inclusive is a cost saver over the “pay-as-you-go amenities” on larger ships. Small ship vacations can be a sense of discovery and a sense of place. Small ship cruising is not limited in destinations. The ships travel the world visiting hidden harbors and friendly ports. Explore the magic of the world, and the elegance, aboard a luxury small ship cruise line. Permission granted to come aboard. Unpack, unwind and smooth sailing ... Bon Voyage! Connie Frenzel is a Travel Advisor with Island Travel in Beaufort. Contact her at connie@islandtravel.com or call 843-525-0777.

For my girls By Takiya La’Shaune Smith
“... Sometimes when a person goes through something, it means they need to be that voice that can help another, even if it is only one person. A lot of people aren’t as strong as you may be and they need to hear your voice and know that they will be okay.” Those were the exact words of my daughter’s 15-year-old friend, Rebecca. Becca, as I affectionately call her, had come along for a weekend trip and as we drove along during the early morning hours on I-95 South, she openly discussed her own personal obstacles regarding low self-esteem, coping with peer pressure and dealing with acceptance, not only of self but by others. I listened intently as Becca slowly, but with a steady momentum, entrusted me with some of her heart’s secrets, and I responded carefully and with the same care and compassion that I would with my own daughter. The way I saw it — and the way I will always feel about it — was just that. Becca was no different to me than if she was my own daughter. Regardless of her race, regardless of her background, regardless of her age, regardless of her family’s tax bracket, regardless of her and my daughter’s typical on-again, offagain teenage friendship, regardless of the fact that she wasn’t my biological daughter — the fact of the matter is that

she is a daughter. A young lady growing up in a world focused on image, beauty, body and boys. So much so that a positive influence, or lack thereof, could be enough to make or break, derail or set the course of her lifetime. Like so many of our girls, typically middle and high school age, yet shockingly spiraling its way to elementary, low self-esteem and a lack of positive self-image has fast become the norm. Statistics, coupled with the media’s exploitation of scantily clad pop stars, foul mouthed rock stars, overzealous movie stars and brawling, pregnant reality stars, is what we have allowed to set the pace, be a standard and make an example for most of our girls. Turning a cheek and turning up our nose to look down on it should not be what guides our judgment; yet opening our arms and offering our hearts should be what we allow to lead us. As Becca candidly opened up to me, I in turn offered my personal experiences of mistakes made and lessons learned. What I soon and quickly came to realize
As my daughter’s teenage friend opened up to me, I offered my personal experiences of mistakes made and lessons learned. What I soon came to see was a young lady gaining hope right in front of me ... She began to realize that she was more than “just a girl” but that she was a girl with a purpose, a young lady with a voice. and see was a young lady gaining hope right before me. Her view of self-image began to shift and her attitude towards others’ acceptance of her expanded. She began to realize that she was more than “just a girl” but that she was a girl with a purpose, a young lady with a voice. Like my own daughter, she was comforted, she was consoled and she realized that she was given a choice. A choice to be who she wanted to be. In the next coming weeks, I will spotlight several teen related articles that discuss what our young girls are facing in hopes that we as a community can open our ears to hear their voices and open our hearts to make a change. In addition, I will be launching “For My Girls,” a unique mentorship program based upon etiquette and positive self-image for all young ladies in fifth through twelfth grades. “For My Girls” was instated by my own life, inspired by my own daughter and implemented for my own Becca. Webster’s dictionary
states that the definition of “my” means of or relating to “me” or “myself.” When put in perspective, when it comes to me or myself, I want nothing but the best and I will stop at nothing until I obtain the best. Let’s learn to look at the rest as “me” or “myself.” If you are a mother or a daughter of any age, an educator, a mentor or even a father and would like more information regarding “For My Girls” whether it be participation or education, please feel free to contact me and together let’s make an impact. Our girls deserve it and are certainly worth it.

FEAR: False Expectations Appearing Real By Martha Cooper-Hudson
There is a prison that has an inmate population in the billions. It’s a prison without walls, without barbed wire, without guards and without any physical barrier. But it is the most effective prison in the whole world. Few escape it, but those who do find real and lasting freedom. That prison is in our minds. It is a prison that holds back our initiative, our talent, our ability to express ourselves and, most of all, it holds back the fulfillment of our full potential as human beings. That prison is fear. Our lives today are controlled by fear more than we know. Fear controls the choices we make, our actions, our habits and even our destinies. Fear has become one of the greatest threats to humanity in this day in its many forms. Terrorism has become the pinnacle of fear worldwide. Recent events in the world have shown how fear can drive even those that are powerful to behave desperately and inhumanely. But the effect of fear on our personal lives is more damaging than any terrorist can ever hope to achieve. Fear of life prevents most of us from living. Fear of life? Yes. “Too many people are thinking of security instead of opportunity. They seem to be more afraid of life than death.” This observation was made by James F. Bymes. In its extremes, fear in our personal lives causes anxiety and phobias. For people with such illnesses, the prison of fear can seem like a death sentence.
Martha CooperHudson
Fear will paralyze you if you do not deal with it. It will absolutely stop you from living a life that you desire ... Trying to fight fear is like trying to fight the dark. You can’t do it. The way to get rid of darkness is to bring in the light. The way to get rid of your fears is to conquer them.
Their lives may be totally controlled by fear, making life totally unenjoyable and everyday tasks a real struggle. Fortunately, this is not the most common manifestation of fear. The far more destructive form of fear is one that we have come to accept because it is so common. There are those of you out there with brilliant business ideas. What holds you back is fear. You think about all the statistics of how many businesses fail every year, or what your friends and family will think if you quit your job to pursue your dreams. The fear of not being able to pay your bills, fear of getting fired, fear of starting over and the fear of not having a job title all hold you back. It is fear that keeps most of us in jobs we do not enjoy and, sometimes, that don’t even meet our financial needs. The fear of taking risks is one that few people are able to overcome. Risk is the potential harm that may arise from some present process or from some future event. In every area of life risk-taking is a necessary thing. If you propose marriage to someone, you have to take the risk
that they may say no. If you are in a race, you have to take the risk that you may lose miserably. If you want to live life to its fullest, you have to take the risk of failure. As Dorothy Thompson said: “Only when we are no longer afraid do we begin to live.” Fear will paralyze you if you do not deal with it. It will absolutely stop you from living a life that you desire. Recognize it. Conquer it. Eleanor Roosevelt’s advice is that “you gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing which you think you cannot do.” I’m sure you have had an experience in the past when you really feared something. After doing it, how did you feel? Silly? Stupid? The feeling is often one of “that wasn’t so hard after all. I don’t know what I was afraid of.” Trying to fight fear is like trying to fight the dark. You can’t do it. The way to get rid of darkness is to bring in the light. The way to get rid of your fears is to conquer them. “Do the thing you fear to do and keep on doing it ... that
is the quickest and surest way ever yet discovered to conquer fear,” said Dale Carnegie. Go ahead and start that business you want to start. Go ahead and study what you really want to study. Go ahead and become a musician, poet, artist, fashion designer or whatever else you want to do. Sure you might fail, but you might succeed too. Take the risk today and conquer your fears. Do you want to look back years from now and think I could have, I might have, and I should have? That is a sad way to live your life. Remember that no matter how “safe” you play it, one fate awaits us all. That is death. Whether you take a risk or not you will die. So of what benefit is it to you to be under the yoke of fear and live a life that is way below your potential? Use your life wisely. Free your mind from fear and worry and go for it. There is only thing you should fear and that is God. That should not be a fear of terror, but of reverence. “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” Feed your faith and your fears will starve to death.

Cafeterias will always smell like Comet and last week’s lasagna By Cherimie Crane Weatherford
With a name like Cherimie, hair like a horse and a face sprinkled with freckles often hidden behind lessthan-fashionable spectacles, my younger days weren’t necessarily coated in rainbows and butterflies. Lacetrimmed smocked dresses couldn’t hide my two left, and all too often dirty, feet, my fire-driven tongue or odd fascination with anything deemed off limits. My early school years were nothing more than an induction into a world less than wonderful. Learning early that some things are meant to be experienced, not necessarily enjoyed, was a valuable lesson, just as learning a smile isn’t necessarily sweet. Obviously, times change, schools evolve and programs improve. However, two things shall forever remain constant in the halls of formidability — cafeterias will always smell of Comet and last week’s lasagna, just as mean girls will always exist. It is possible I could proclaim bullying of sorts, but relying on current buzzwords to depict epic battles of inner strength seems more fitted for daytime television than real life. Having grown up a bit differently than most, elementary and middle school years taught me that not everyone is walked to the bus stop by a 400-pound pig and being the best isn’t always preferred. Oddly enough, the adored adage of treating people as you want to be treated proved to be somewhat of a fallacy. I suppose I learned long division somewhere along the way, but the real lessons never had correctable answers. Living from bell to bell, my days were focused only on survival of sorts. Physical harm was never an issue. Spending my weekends chasing cows and climbing

Learning early that some things are meant to be experienced, not necessarily enjoyed, was a valuable lesson, just as learning a smile isn’t necessarily sweet. Obviously, times change, schools evolve and programs improve. However, two things shall forever remain constant in the halls of formidability — cafeterias will always smell of Comet and last week’s lasagna, just as mean girls will always exist.
Mississippi pines, I was far better prepared for physical combat than the mental twister of middle school female feudalism. Fortunately, it didn’t devastate me that I wasn’t often invited to their parties, sleepovers or playground gatherings. For me, that meant wearing something ridiculous, sitting in the corner wishing my feet were muddy. What was heartbreaking, however, was the overwhelming sinking feeling of never quite fitting in, being accepted or being able to share my truly fascinating pig stories. Females begin the unspoken, undisclosed rules of engagement very early in life. Apparently, some are born with the ability to mingle amongst meanness while others spend the better part of their lives and much of their energy on understanding, avoiding or analyzing what causes such woman on woman crime. War is hell, or so I have heard, but if it were founded and strategized around the mean girl concept, hell may just be a welcomed alternative. My heart breaks for the young girls of today, not that their challenges are much different, but often they are
much more public. Knowing that my daughter will someday be faced with this epidemic makes it all the more real. Unlike many of the sicknesses lurking in schools, this has no immunization. There is no answer in a book, no theory applied will stop the tears shed or the days ruined. The best anecdote is a sordid sense of humor mixed with a superior sense of self, no matter how peculiar. If your world is invaded by this green, misguided menace, just know that it does get better. Their words will hold less meaning, their sneers less venom and all too soon their persona of perfection will fade, leaving only an emptiness of envy and a wake of years wasted. I have gone on to do things of which most of those girls will only dream. My awkwardness is even found to be an asset to some and my freckles have faded. You will survive the bouts of mean girl battles with an insurmountable inner strength. It is perfectly OK, even preferred, to be different. Being the best is not a weakness and being walked to the bus stop by a 400-pound pig may one day make for a great story.

It’s not your grandfather’s retirement anymore By Katie Phifer
It used to be relatively simple to plan for retirement: You’d just circle the date on the calendar when your pension was set to kick in and have your co-workers start planning your send-off party. But that was then. These days, retirement planning is much more complex. The number of corporate pension plans has fallen dramatically over the past two decades — from about 92,000 single-employer defined benefit plans in 1990 to 29,000 in 2009, according to the U.S. Government Accountability Office. With the burden of paying for retirement shifting to individuals, personal savings and investments are becoming the primary source of retirement income. For some, this may mean staying in the job market, but with new hours or a whole new career. A recent survey by the Employee Benefit Research Institute (EBRI) found that while only 23% of retirees reported working for pay in the previous year, three quarters of workers said they expected to be employed during their retirement. More people want to keep working in some way, and more and more people are going back to work after they retire. “In the old days, Grandpa knew how much his pension would pay him for the rest of his life,” says Donna Peterson, Senior Vice President for Retail
Katie Phifer
Evaluating your retirement saving goals is essential whether retirement is near or 30 years away.
Retirement at Wells Fargo. “Now the big question is, ‘How much income will your investments generate from month to month during your retirement?’” So what can individuals do to better prepare for today’s retirement landscape? The answer is to plan ahead. You should begin by exploring the answers to questions such as “What’s my ideal retirement scenario?” and “What do I need in terms of financial support? Setting retirement goals is not just about dollars and sense. It’s also about drawing on your values and hopes to create a satisfying life. Beyond security and independence, what will you pursue during the next phase of your life? Then, meet with a Financial Advisor to assess your current nest egg and savings rate and estimate how much annual income you’re likely to need during retirement. As you look ahead, be sure to consider that, realistically, you may be retired for a long time, and your finances need to reflect that fact. Consider that
those who are currently 65 are projected to live another 18 years, on average. And, if you reach age 85, your life expectancy will extend to age 91. When working with my clients, I utilize the Wells Fargo Advisors Envision® planning process that allows me to stress-test various retirement scenarios and identify areas of a plan that need adjusting. For instance, you may find that adjusting your investment strategy or boosting your savings rate by a few percentage points a year will get you closer to your long-term financial goals. “The more you save, the better off you’ll be,” Peterson says. “And even a small step-up in savings can make a big difference.” For many years, experts recommended aiming to replace roughly 80% of your annual preretirement income during retirement. The idea was that living expenses typically decreased in retirement. “But that advice assumed that you were going to spend your retirement in a rocking chair on the front porch,” Peterson says. “These days, retirees are likely to be very active.” And that means higher costs to keep up with a more expensive lifestyle. Because each individual’s idea of retirement is different, everybody will have different financial needs. It’s important to look at your planned retirement budget realistically, Peterson
says. Work with your Financial Advisor to map out essential costs, such as housing, food and health care expenses, and discretionary expenses, such as travel and entertainment. That exercise can help you set credible long-term savings goals based on your expected income needs during retirement. Evaluating your retirement saving goals is essential whether retirement is near or 30 years away. By considering your savings goals, income needs, and investment strategy, you may find that your current plan is likely to leave you short when it comes time to stop working. Your Financial Advisor can help you review and adjust your current retirement savings plan. “Develop a plan and stress-test it with your advisor,” Peterson says. “The results can help you understand what’s possible, and also what may need to be adjusted.” This article was written by Wells Fargo Advisors and provided courtesy of Katie Cuppia Phifer CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™, Financial Advisor at 843-982-1506.

ArtiZen Yoga opens for business in Beaufort On Wednesday, Oct. 16, ArtiZen Yoga and Massage opened its doors — and arms — to the Beaufort community. Owner Elizabeth Vanderpool knows the studio and the community well. “I’ve been a student, a teacher, a trainer and a manager here.” She gestured at the space, formerly a Dancing Dogs studio. “I’m so excited to be taking this next step.” It was a classic win-win. “Ever since my trip to Africa this summer, I have been looking to simplify,” said Shelley Lowther, founder of Dancing Dogs Yoga. “I am proud and excited for Elizabeth and for Beaufort. I look forward to focusing my attention on training and on our fast-
growing Bluffton studio.” Why did Vanderpool choose to name her new studio ArtiZen? “Yoga encompasses the mind, the body, and the spirit. Yoga is Elizabeth referred to as a ‘practice’ Vanderpool for good reason. But it is a labor of love. The deeper you are willing to go, the more beauty — and peace — you find. Thus ArtiZen,” she explained. What about the tree logo? “I’ve always had an affinity for The Tree of Life and
what it represents. A tree remembers its roots and also reaches for the sky. I want ArtiZen to celebrate life and growth.” Asked whether to expect big changes, Vanderpool responded, “At first, no. We’re trying to make the transition seamless for former Dancing Dogs students. We opened our doors with the same teachers, classes and schedule. ArtiZen will honor any time or visits left on their passes.” ArtiZen will hold a formal grand opening event in November. “Things always take a little longer than you’d hope. Once we’ve finished painting and putting up the new signs, we’ll be ready to celebrate!”

What’s not to Like?
ed like heads beaufort symphony orchestra board By William Laney
T
he affable Ed Like, New York City born and bred, is president of the Beaufort Symphony Orchestra Board, which, under the direction of Maestro Fred Devyatkin, just successfully launched it’s 2013-2014 season at the University of South Carolina Beaufort Center for the Arts. The Beaufort Symphony Orchestra made its debut in 1986 with 14 founding members. It has blossomed into a full symphony orchestra consisting of 50 community and professional musicians with broad support in the community from many generous individuals and businesses. Says Ed with a smile about his time as president of the board, “I like to say that I am in the seventh year of my two-year term.” It was his great love of classical music that brought him to this job after retiring to Dataw Island after being the General Agent Manager and owner of The Guardian Life Insurance Co. in Little Neck, N.Y. Ed has always been interested in classical music and played the base fiddle in his Erasmus Hall High School orchestra. He was asked to join the Beaufort Symphony Orchestra board as treasurer nine years ago, and after two years was elected its president. Ed met the love of his life, Ellen, in New York and they were married in Northport, N.Y., 27 years ago. Ellen was the disability income supervisor in the Little Neck, N.Y., agency for the Guardian Life Insurance Co. They have four children: one in London, one in New York, one in Florida, and one in Oregon. They also have eight grandchildren whom they adore. How did the Likes find Beaufort all the way from New York? Ed said, “One of our sales agents visited Dataw and gave our names to the real estate people here. After some time we decided to visit and we fell in love with this beautiful community. We were boaters and the marina here was one of the attractions. Ellen and I took up golf and Ellen became very involved with her tennis activities.
Ellen and Ed Like live on Dataw Island. He is the president of the Beaufort Symphony Orchestra board.
We built our home 17 years ago and moved in full time at the end of 1998. We were native born New Yorkers and never looked back.” Adds Ellen, “This town and surrounding areas are so beautiful and it offers so many interesting activities. The folks are friendly and we never cease to wonder at everyone always waving hello to each other.” As far as their charity involvement, Ellen has worked at CAPA, Special Friends and Meals on Wheels. Ed worked for Second Helpings for several years before becoming president of the orchestra board. Ed says he has really enjoyed working with the members of the orchestra board and Maestro Devyatkin to bring quality music to the folks in this area. “Watching this orchestra grow to become world class has been a wonderful experience
for me, as well as our board members, and we hope our audience. It has been a very gratifying experience and I am glad to be a part of it,” he said. Have there been any surprises along the way? Ed says, “I guess I never expected that our orchestra would become so accepted and popular and that we have many wonderful supporters.” As for the future of the orchestra, Ed says, “I know that change is very desirable and necessary. We seem to be able to do that with programing. Events like last year’s ‘Side by Side’ extra concert featuring the 50 members of the youth orchestra on stage with the 50 members of the adult orchestra. I guess as long as my board members want me to stay on, I will be there for them.” The community gives a big thanks to Ed. His continued devotion to the orchestra is music to our ears.

TEAM NICK
after her son’s diagnosis with leukemia, beaufort mom becki abrams joined team in training to help raise awareness By Pamela Brownstein
Becki Abrams’ green eyes sparkle when she talks about her goal of completing her first half marathon. Her eyes also mist up slightly when she talks about her reason for running the race: her 6-year-old son, Nick, who was diagnosed with Leukemia in 2012. She said despite all the treatments and doctor’s visits and struggles he has faced since then, “he always had a smile on his face.” It was his courage and positive attitude that caused several members from the Abrams’ church to dedicate their local chapter of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Team In Training in his honor. Thus, Team Nick was born. Becki felt inspired by her son and joined the team to have the opportunity to help find cures and more effective treatments for blood cancers. She admits it was a daunting decision at first. “I’ve never been a runner, but I just decided to do it,” she said. In June, Becki started training for the Rock N Roll Half Marathon in Savannah on November 9. Along with the other members of Team Nick — Jaime Dailey-Vergara, LeeAnn Dodge, Heather Sheehan, Melanie Ott, Jane Abrams and Coaches Derek Clements and Kami Bodnar — Becki has been running all over town, often waking up before 5 a.m. for 5:30 a.m. start times. The training started out slow, and gradually built up to longer runs. In September, Becki wrote on her Team Nick fundraising page, “Today I ran/jogged/ walked 10 miles in 2hrs 30min. That is pretty good considering that I would have never thought I would be running a half marathon and now I’m almost there and it feels great. It also makes you feel good knowing that you are helping find a cure for Leukemia.” Originally from Wisconsin, Becki moved to Beaufort in 1987 and graduated from Beaufort High School. She met her husband, Jeff, who was a golf pro at the time,

while they were both working on Fripp Island. The two were married in 2000 at the Baptist Church of Beaufort. A horsedrawn carriage took them from the church to the Downtown Marina where they caught a boat that brought them to their reception at the Beaufort Yacht and Sailing Club on Lady’s Island. Their daughter Emma was born in November 2003, and Nick was born December 29, 2006. Both children go to Beaufort Montessori at Beaufort Elementary School. In early 2012, Nick’s parents became concerned when their usually active kid was tired and his body wasn’t fighting infections. Under the watchful care of the doctors at Beaufort Pediatrics, the Abrams brought Nick to the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) in Charleston for a series of blood tests. Becki said she will never forget the day they received the
devastating news, February 17, 2012. From that moment, she was on a crash course trying to learn as much accurate information as possible and understand the meaning of his diagnosis. “Nobody knows about it until you’re going through it,” Becki said. Fortunately, Nick’s type of Leukemia is highly curable if caught in time, and he is currently in remission. But that means he still has to go to treatments at MUSC every eight weeks for three years. His parents said he takes it all in stride, and he looks forward to some type of reward after each appointment, usually in the form of Nerf guns, Legos or sporting goods.
the island news | october 17-23, 2013 | www.yourislandnews.com
Another important aspect of keeping Nick well involves an emphasis on cleanliness. They are big on handwashing and there are bottles of GermX in almost every room of their house, and also in the office of Pike Appraisals, the company that Becki’s family owns and where she works. She would also encourage everyone to get a flu shot. Making sure Nick stays safe from germs means he often wears a mask with Mickey Mouse on it to school. “He never complained about it once,” Jeff said. Becki said one of the hardest parts for Nick has been not being able to play all the sports he likes such as golf, baseball a n d football. But he still enjoys watching his favorite teams, including the USC Gamecocks, which Jeff, a Clemson alum, jokes is a little disappointing. The family also never misses a Beaufort Eagles home game. Jeff volunteers his time with the high school football team to
work as a coach for the kickers. When it comes to sports, Becki played volleyball and basketball in high school, but she never really ran before. That’s why she was excited to finish her first official 5K earlier this month. The couple has been touched by the outpouring of support since Nick got sick. “You don’t now how many people and friends you have until you are in need,” said Jeff gratefully. On Becki’s fundraising page on the Team In Training web site, it’s clear that many people do care because the donations are more than double her original fundraising goal of $2,300. Becki said, “I would like to thank my family and friends for their support, and also Team Nick and our great coaches — Derek Clements and Kami Bodnar.” Although the future still presents challenges — even after his three years in remission, Nick will have checkups every six months for the next 10 years — the Abrams take it day to day and enjoy the time they have together. Jeff said, “After everything Nick’s endured, he’s destined for great things.” Becki agrees, and with only weeks to go before the big race, she is looking forward to crossing the finish line for Team Nick.

Spend ‘An Evening with Pat Conroy’ The Center for the Arts at the University of South Carolina Beaufort will present “An Evening with Pat Conroy,” Saturday, Oct. 26, at 7 p.m. The event is a kickoff fundraiser to launch a capital improvement campaign for renovations at the center. It will also commemorate the advance release of Conroy’s latest memoir, “The Death of Santini: The Story of a Father and his Son.” The first of seven children born to a young career military officer from Chicago and a Southern beauty from Alabama, Conroy time and again drew upon personal experience to create his bestselling novels. Three of them, “The Boo,” “The Lords of Discipline” and “My Losing Season,” focused on his experience as a cadet at The Citadel in Charleston. Conroy’s brief tenure as a teacher of underprivileged black children in a oneroom schoolhouse on Daufuskie Island formed the basis for The Water is Wide, which was later turned into the film Conrack starring Jon Voight. The book won a humanitarian award from the National Education Association. Other Conroy novels were adapted for the screen as well. “The Great Santini,” the precursor to the current memoir, explored conflicts in the
Pat Conroy will be speaking at USCB.
author’s childhood, including his ambivalent love for his violent, abusive father. It became the basis for a featurelength motion picture starring Robert Duvall in the title role. “The Prince of Tides,” one of the most beloved novels of modern time, was made into a highly successful feature film directed by and starring Barbra Streisand and actor Nick Nolte. His novel “Beach Music” told the story of a young American who moves to Rome to escape the painful memory of his wife’s suicidal leap from a bridge in South Carolina. South of Broad, his fifth novel and ninth book, was a love letter to the city of Charleston. “The Pat Conroy Cookbook” soon followed, and
then “My Reading Life,” a compilation of the books that most influenced him. Conroy has long been a friend of the University of South Carolina Beaufort. Fifty years after his family first moved to Beaufort, Conroy makes his home today on Fripp Island. “Pat’s association with the university goes back decades,” says historian Lawrence S. Rowland, Ph.D., professor emeritus at USCB and the author of “The History of Beaufort County, South Carolina, Volume I 1514-1861.” Dr. Rowland and Conroy are lifelong friends. The two met in the early 1960s when Conroy moved to Beaufort. “Pat and I sort of grew up together,” he says. General admission tickets for the lecture are priced at $100 per person. Sponsorship opportunities and naming opportunities for distinct sections of the center are also available. Funds generated by “An Evening with Pat Conroy” will be used to support a wide range of capital improvements at the Center for the Arts: upgrading the lighting system, installing new carpet, replacing 461 seats, painting the interior and putting up new signs. For tickets, contact Bonnie Hargrove, director of the Center for the Arts, at 843-521-4145 or visit www. uscbcenterforthearts.com.

Eric Horan photo exhibition featured at BAA The Beaufort Art Association Gallery presents In the Likeness of Everything, a photographic exhibition featuring the work of Eric Horan, Friday, October 27 through December 7. Located in historic downtown Beaufort at 913 Bay Street, the gallery will be open for viewing Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday, 1 to 4 p.m. Works of more than 75 member artists will be included for viewing. The public is invited to meet the featured artist at a reception to be held at the gallery on Friday, November 1, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Since 1985, Horan has been photographing the coastal Southeast. His commercial work includes freelance assignment, fine art photography installation and stock photography for national advertising, book and magazine publication. “In the Likeness of Everything” represents Horan’s recent personal work captured while navigating the intracoastal waterways and Carolina coastal region and through all seasons. Horan graduated from the Colorado Mountain College in Glenwood Springs with a degree in Commercial Art and Photography. His photography career started at Colorado Fish, Games and Parks Department documenting wildlife
behavior. In the early 80’s, Horan expanded his training in New York City where he assisted some of the top photographers in the region. Then he came south where he established Eric Horan Photography, Inc. on Hilton Head Island. Among the notable books where his images appear include “Carolina Nature, A Photographer’s View of the Natural World of the Carolinas,” “Lowcountry A-Z,” “South Carolina, A Compass American Guidebook” (published by Fodor’s) Clairmont
Press & Holt, Rinehart Winston Textbooks, “EXPOSURE” (included among 100 of OUTSIDE magazines finest photographs over 15 years,) and National Geographic Books. Among the magazines where his work has appeared are Business Week, Cruising World, Fortune, McCall’s, The New York Times Sunday Travel, Orion, OUTSIDE, Sail, and on the cover of “Smithsonian.” Horan’s nature photography is recognized throughout the Carolinas and Georgia in part by his iconic wildlife
portraits, sky, land and water scenes showcased in Lowcountry Calendar published annually from 2001 to 2012 and winning national calendar awards each of the last eight years in print. Since 2004, Horan has extended his photo and natural history training to guiding fellow photographers and nature enthusiasts in his 19’ Carolina Skiff, touring remote destinations along the intracoastal waterways and natural wildlife preserves in the Southeast.

CATCHES OF THE WEEK
Beaufort Native to Sign Latest Book at Red Piano Too Art Gallery Valerie Sayers is scheduled to do a book signing and talk on her latest book, The Powers at the Red Piano Too Art Gallery, on Sunday October 20, 2013 from 1:00pm to 4:00pm Valerie Sayers, born 1952, is an American writer and the author of six novels: The Powers (2013), Brain Fever (1996), The Distance Between Us (1994), Who Do You Love (1991), How I Got Him Back, or, Under the Cold Moon’s Shine (1989), and Due East (1987). Brain Fever and Who Do You Love were named New York Times “Notable Books of the Year” and the 2002 film Due East is based on her first two novels. Reviewing Who Do You Love, The Chicago Tribune declared: “To say that Valerie Sayers is a natural-born writer wildly underestimates the facts.... She has carved out for herself a corner of the South as clearly delineated as Faulkner’s famous Yoknapatawpha County, a sense of the importance and holiness of place that calls to mind Eudora Welty’s writing on the subject. Sayers was born and raised in Beaufort, South Carolina, and educated at Fordham and Columbia; she lived in New York for many years. Her writing has considered the experience of Irish Catholics in the American South, the forces of segregation and Civil Rights, and the place of pacifism in domestic politics. Sayers is most often read in the lineage of Mary Flannery O’Connor, Carson McCullers, Pat Conroy, and Walker Percy. Her stories, essays, and reviews have appeared widely, in such publications as: The New York Times, Washington Post, Commonweal, Zoetrope, Ploughshares, Image, Witness, and Prairie Schooner, and have been cited in Best American Short Stories and Best American Essays. Her short story “The Other Woman” is published in Cabbage and Bones: An Anthology of Irish American Women’s Fiction (1997). Her latest novel, The Powers, which the Washington Post described as “brilliantly realized... in brutally elegant prose” opens in the summer of 1941, and holds the war fever then sweeping across Europe in tension with the contemporary baseball mania sweeping up the United States, a fever fueled by... the Yankees’ Joe DiMaggio. The journal Image: Art, Faith, Mystery features an interview with Sayers on “ Baseball and Fiction.” Sayers’s literary awards include a Pushcart prize for fiction and a National Endowment for the Arts literature fellowship. Northwestern University Press plans to reissue her first five novels during 2013. Since 1993, Sayers has been Professor of English and the Director of the Creative Writing Program at the University of Notre Dame.

Your dog and his government: The shutdown By Tracie Korol
As our elected officials continue to bicker and whine about the continued funding of the federal government, Washington temporarily mothballed its “non-essential” programs and services. In a shutdown, “non-essential” federal workers are furloughed, while some “essential” operations continue. How does this government shutdown affects our animals? Short answer: by suspending critical animal welfare functions. Here’s a longer answer and some of the effects that we can expect for our Best Friends: Under the Animal Welfare Act, USDA is charged with ensuring that minimum standards of care and treatment are provided by regulated agencies (approximately 12,000 sites currently), including research facilities, commercial dog breeders and dealers, and exhibitors of exotic animals. Without federal government funding, USDA will not be able to inspect these facilities to ensure humane care or provide enforcement against violators, meaning puppy mills, research labs and roadside zoos. It is entirely possible that all could cut corners and operate recklessly while no one is watching. Earlier in this drama, the agency’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service indicated that “facility inspections and complaint investigations related to the Animal Welfare Act” would not continue during a funding lapse. Additionally, USDA’s website is dark due to the shutdown, which means the public no longer has access to the animal care database to review AWA inspection

reports and violations. From The Food and Drug Administration: “FDA will be unable to support the majority of its food safety, nutrition, and cosmetics activities,” reads a Health and Human Services memo detailing a contingency plan for the government funding stoppage. This means a delay on important rules to ensure the safety of pet food, in the wake of a number of recalls. “FDA will also have to cease safety activities such as routine establishment inspections, some compliance and enforcement activities, monitoring of imports, notification programs, and the majority of the laboratory research necessary to inform public health decision-making.” Keep in mind that primary ingredients for pet foods begin with what’s left over from that for human consumption. To put the implications in context, consider that the FDA typically inspects about 19,000 domestic food facilities every year — or 50 per day. Not only are FDA inspectors no longer out in the field, but laboratory research is also to be put on hold, and the agency will not be publishing

any guidance documents. The last point isn’t as innocuous as it sounds; the FDA has issued more 500 warning letters to food and drug providers so far this year. The letters make up a frightening list of violations including drug-tainted veal and infected cattle material used in pet food as well as recall alerts. A bigger problem is whether the FDA can adequately respond to an emergency, for instance, a massive Salmonella outbreak in kibble. “Those inspections help to prevent problems with food safety, fix them before contaminated foods get into the market. These agencies are working at very minimal capacity. They say they will retain some capacity for emergencies, but if you don’t have CDC in place and you’re operating on a skeleton crew anyway, I don’t have confidence that they have the capacity to recognize and
emergency and respond to it,” says Caroline Smith DeWaal, the food safety director of the Center for Science in the Public Interest, a nonprofit consumer advocacy group in Washington. Another huge area of concern is food imports which are normally monitored by FDA officials. No imports are being inspected for safety right now. That means all those mysterious Chinese kibblefiller ingredients and chemical treats that historically have wreaked havoc in the US pet community. On a good day, the agency is critically under-funded. The FDA lost $209 million as part of the $85 billion in automatic budget cuts that took place March 1 of this year, forcing 2,100 fewer inspections from 2012. The shutdown, DeWaal says, just exacerbates the problem. If you are a kibble-only household, be aware that in a few months there may well be a rash of recalls due to the various contaminants that are currently being overlooked. Also be aware that the USDA and FDA that list current kibble recalls daily have dark websites. What to do? This might be the time to re-consider what your Best Friend is eating. Source locally and wash/cook it well is a good place to start.

Call me anything you want By Celia Strong
Really, call me anything you want, but don’t call me late for dinner. (Isn’t that the whole expression?) Truthfully, it’s OK to not even call me for dinner, except when you are planning on having one of my favorite wines. And, considering how late in the year it’s getting to be, all my favorite wines are going to start getting opened way more often. At least with my dinners. And lunches. On days off! And Sunday afternoons. As the weather turns cooler and the holidays get closer, my head really starts to plan my glass (glasses?) of choice with great regularity. And self-imposed urgency. So, call me anything, anytime, but I guess it’s time to start paying attention to this week’s wine. There is a lot of new stuff to learn this week, starting with where our wine comes from: New Zealand. And, yes, we have discussed New Zealand Sauvignon Blancs multiple times, but this week we look to another variety — Riesling. First, though, let’s review the source. New Zealand is a southern hemisphere wine country, so we get wines that for their vintage year are six months older than wines from the same vintage in a northern hemisphere country. (A tidbit I always enjoy.) Wine in New Zealand dates back to as early as 1836, when James Busby first started trying to grow vinifera grapes there. The oldest existing vineyard there, established by the French Roman Catholic Church, dates from 1851. The modern history of the New Zealand wine industry, meaning the second half of the 20th Century and since then, was the result of several things — legislation that allowed domestic wines to sell and be served locally, young New Zealanders traveling abroad and coming home with a “wine with dinner” lifestyle, and financial interest in the wine business. In the 1990’s a well-known British wine critic, Oz Clark, wrote that New Zealand Sauvignon Blancs were “arguably the best in the world.” One winery in particular led the pack: Cloudy Bay. And, as they say, the rest is history. Except, that New Zealand does make more than just Sauvignon Blancs.
Celia Strong works at Bill’s Liquor & Fine Wines on Lady’s Island.
This week’s wine, the Cloudy Bay Late Harvest Riesling, is a lovely dessert style wine made in New Zealand. Other whites, reds and sparkling wines. So, yes, we must broaden our horizons. the very southern tip of the northern Which puts us onto our grape for this island. (Marlborough, where most of week. I know we don’t do Riesling very the Sauvignon Blancs are grown, is at often, partly because of preconceived the northern tip of the southern island.) One last detail about our wine for notions about it, partly because of the really high prices on many of the good this week. We have to learn about “late ones and partly because of the huge harvest.” This is a term that appears on range of styles and qualities of them all. wine labels that means the grapes for that Riesling, a white grape, originated in wine were picked later than the majority the Rhine region of Germany. It is an of grapes for that vintage. By staying on aromatic variety known for its flowery, their vines longer, these grapes become perfumy aromas and high acidity. riper and riper, develop more sugar and (Strange, high acidity, when so many of sweeter flavors and, therefore, can make us think of Riesling wines as sweeter.) sweeter wines. Also with late harvested Riesling wines can range from very dry, grapes, another process can take place. to semi-sweet, to sweet and dessert As they hang on their vines, a fungus, called Botrytis cinerea (noble rot), forms wines and even sparkling wines. In addition to its floral perfume on the bunches due to humidity and aromas, Riesling has aromas and flavors warmth. This looks sort of like a mold that include green apples, grapefruit, and encases the grapes and the sugary, peach, honey, rose blossoms, green grass syrupy pulp inside them. More sugar, and pine trees. It is grown in almost all less juice — a combination that results wine producing countries, with a range in dessert style wines when the grapes of styles coming from each of them. are crushed and fermented. In some Traditionally, Riesling grows better in wine regions and countries, their wine cooler areas. And, with its natural high laws determine which wines can be acidity, some of these wines can age for called late harvest. In others, the term decades. The sweeter dessert wines can on a label usually signifies a dessert wine. age because their underlying acidity Because there is less juice coming from holds them together for great lengths of each grape, less wine is available. So, as time. (In Germany, there are records of you would expect, the price goes up. In some Riesling wines still drinking well addition, because most of us don’t want at over 100 years old. Yikes!) Of course, a lot of these wines, half size bottles, 375 these wines tend to cost more. Surprise! milliliters, are more common. And, now, let’s bring this all together. In New Zealand, Rieslings are grown mostly in the Martinborough area, at Cloudy Bay, the great winery that

brought New Zealand into the wine industry in the 20th Century, makes a Late Harvest Riesling. Cloudy Bay Vineyards was established in 1985, in the Marlborough area of the country. Besides vineyards that they own, Cloudy Bay also has contracts with quality growers. Between both sources, they get the grapes for our Riesling — a lovely dessert style wine that we have in time for all our special holiday dinners and parties. It is a pale gold color, with honey, nougat, orange blossom and ripe peach aromas. Its flavors add in more with apricots and a piney honeycomb. The grapes for this wine are hand-picked, the best way to control how much botrytis is on each single one. Picked in May of 2008. Southern Hemisphere. The few grapes that were not botrytised maintained the acidity level in the wine. They were all pressed for a long time, overnight, to extract their richness and full flavors. Batches were fermented, in stainless steel tanks, for two months, achieving a perfect balance between sugars and acidity. Aging in French oak barrels for about eight months followed. Bottling was February 2009. Now, the only issue we have is how to use this delicious wine. Sweeter wines like this, as a general rule, work well with spicy foods, salty foods, very rich foods, and desserts. My thinking is we will be better able to use this one with a salty cheese like a Roquefort or Parmesan, before or after a meal, with some rich foie gras, or with dessert. Pumpkin pie comes to mind. It’s that time of year. But also fruit pies and tarts will all taste better with a really cold, small glass of this. Or a plate of salty cheese and ripe fresh fruits. Or, and this is my new favorite, pumpkin bread pudding. A simple loaf of pumpkin bread made into a bread pudding with some cinnamon and caramel. Really, I tried the wine and the pudding last weekend, and I don’t even like bread pudding — until now. And, I’m sure the wine made that happen. So, call me anything you want, but try the Cloudy Bay Late Harvest Riesling. And call it delicious! For $24.99. Enjoy.

Happy rail trails At a ground breaking ceremony on Thursday, Sept. 13, a crowd of local officials, community leaders and bicycle enthusiasts gathered at the site of the old Depot Building off Depot Road in Beaufort to commemorate the start of construction on the Spanish Moss Trail. As Beaufort Mayor Billy Keyserling noted, making the trail a reality was the result of public and private groups working together for a cause that will promote healthy activity and benefit the community. Weston Newton also praised the trail as a way to showcase the beauty of our natural resources. The first section is scheduled to be complete by Thanksgiving.
